Duck
Duck is poultry used in roasted, braised, grilled, and soup preparations.
About Duck
Duck is poultry meat from a domesticated duck, sold as a whole bird or in cuts such as breast, legs, wings, and offal. It is used roasted, braised, grilled, pan-cooked, and in soups or other savoury preparations.
Duck has darker meat than typical chicken, with flavour and texture varying by cut, age, breed, and cooking method. Breast and leg are handled differently because their muscle structure and associated skin or fat are not the same. The precise flavour and texture therefore depend on the part and preparation.
Duck may be sold fresh, chilled, frozen, cooked, or processed, as a whole bird or in separate cuts. It may include skin, attached fat, or offal. The skin can be cooked until browned and crisp, while slower methods can make leg meat more tender; the exact form matters.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Identify the edible duck portion and whether skin, visible fat, bones, and organs are included; “duck” alone does not define one reference cut. Roasting, braising, grilling, and soup-making change the final edible portion, while rendered fat and accompanying sauce should be recorded separately.
Compare the right form: Reference should match the duck species or product, cut, skin and fat inclusion, bone status, and raw or cooked edible form.
Diet considerations
Duck is animal-derived poultry. Compatibility changes with skin, rendered fat, stuffing, marinades, coatings, dairy, cereal ingredients, and sauces. A plain cooked portion differs from duck prepared with sweet glazes or grains, and any broth or mixed-meat recipe should be assessed separately.

What these diet assessments mean
- Vegan · Typically incompatible
- The ingredient profile identifies an animal-derived food or derivative.
- Vegetarian · Typically incompatible
- The profile identifies animal flesh, seafood or a derivative excluded by a vegetarian diet.
- Pescatarian · Typically incompatible
- The profile identifies land-animal meat or a derivative, which is excluded by this pescatarian definition.
- Keto · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Paleo · May be compatible
- May fit a paleo pattern, depending on the cut or form, processing and added ingredients.
- Low-carb · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Halal · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish halal status.
- Kosher · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish kosher status.
For the plain ingredient · Awaiting review. Diet compatibility is not allergy suitability or halal/kosher certification. Keto and low-carb depend on the portion.
